Housebuilder  Persimmon Homes East Wales has chosen St David’s Hospice Care in South
Wales as its charity of the year, following a unanimous vote by staff. The company
hopes to raise over £5,000 for the charity through a variety of fundraising activities
including bike challenges and abseils.

 

Persimmon employees supported the charity last year, and presented a cheque for 
£3,000 from fundraising activities including a dragon boat race and trail bike ride.
